Norman Geisler and Frank Turek show, first of all, that truth is absolute, exclusive, and knowable. From there, they proceed to demonstrate that the cardinal Christian doctrines are true beyond reasonable doubt, all convincing for you as a Christians to believe, but requiring a leap of negative "faith" if an atheist is to disbelieve them.

Publisher's Description

▼▲

To some, the concept of having faith in a higher power or a set of religious beliefs is nonsensical. Indeed, many view religion in general, and Christianity in particular, as unfounded and unreasonable.

Norman Geisler and Frank Turek argue, however, that Christianity is not only more reasonable than all other belief systems, but is indeed more rational than unbelief itself. With conviction and clear thinking, Geisler and Turek guide readers through some of the traditional, tested arguments for the existence of a creator God. They move into an examination of the source of morality and the reliability of the New Testament accounts concerning Jesus. The final section of the book deals with a detailed investigation of the claims of Christ. This volume will be an interesting read for those skeptical about Christianity, as well as a helpful resource for Christians seeking to articulate a more sophisticated defense of their faith.

Author Bio

▼▲

NORMAN L. GEISLER (PhD, Jesuit Loyola University) is author or coauthor of some sixty books, including The Baker Encyclopedia of Christian Apologetics and his four-volume Systematic Theology. He has taught at the university and graduate level for nearly forty years and has spoken or debated in all fifty states and in twenty-five countries.

FRANK TUREK (PhD, Southern Evangelical Seminary) has appeared on numerous television and radio programs including The OReilly Factor, Hannity and Colmes, and Politically Incorrect. His first book, Legislating Morality: Is It Wise? Is It Legal? Is It Possible? (also coauthored with Dr. Geisler) won the Evangelical Christian Pulbishers Associations Gold Medallion award as the best book in its category.

Everyone on the planet (Christians and Non-Christians) ought to read "I Don't Have Enough Faith to be an Atheist". Starting with the very notion of truth, and moving through various lines of evidence for God, miracles, the New Testament, the resurrection, and the Bible, Geisler and Turek have written a masterful work. This is, in my opinion, the best book of general Christian apologetics in existence today. To be clear there are better books for each individual topic, but I've never seen a book building the entire case for Christianity from the ground up quite like this. Excellent! Five stars easy. Buy it for your skeptical friends, family, and co-workers. If it doesn't convince them, probably nothing will.

this book is logically and rationally sound. it is philosophically on point. it is biblically solid in theology. there is a simplicity in the writing which makes it accessible and usable by the average layperson. i wish that it had been a textbook when i was going through college and seminary. best book i have read this year. it will go on my reread list and my highly recommended list. atheists and agnostics need to be put on notice that if they read this book with an open mind they will find God exists. for disciples of Christ who want an excellent resource to prepare them and give them ammunition to defend their faith, this book is the one to purchase first.

A crystal clear presentation of evidence that leads to an undeniable conclusion of truth. Any open-minded individual seeking to make an assessment beyond any reasonable doubt will find the single work contains all the evidence necessary. It is concise and even entertaining.
